Skoda Octavia II 1.8 TSI 160hp

The Škoda Octavia is a small family car produced by the Czech manufacturer Škoda Auto since 1996. It shares its name with an earlier Škoda model produced between 1959 and 1971. There have been three generations of the modern-era Octavia model to date, delivered with 5-door liftback or 5-door estate styles only. Around five million units were sold in its two decades of presence on the market.

The second generation of Skoda Octavia debuted in 2004 when both the 5-door liftback and the 5-door estate got a couple of new features. The whole range was based on the Volkswagen Group A5 Platform, similar to Audi A3, VW Golf Plus, VW Tiguan, Seat Leon and Seat Altea. The engines were also provided by Volkswagen and produced between 68 and 200 horsepower, in gasoline and diesel configurations. Octavia II was also called Laura in India where the Czech manufacturer wanted to help the local market distinguish it from the 1997 model.
